Xiao Zheng actually called back very soon: "Jingyu, you got up so early?" The morning sun shone on Xiao Jingyu's fair face, as if a layer of natural rouge had been applied. A gentle breeze ruffled her hair, and Xiao Zheng must have been unable to resist taking a bite when he saw it. 。Only to hear Xiao Jingyu say, "How come you are up so early too?"
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "I'm already on my way to Yinzhou." 。These days, I need to report on several matters to the provincial authorities, including policies concerning the construction of the Xihe Tou section of the highway, the Tianwa Water Reservoir project, and the affordable housing project in Baoyuan New City. Please help me coordinate with the leaders. 。So, I went early. 。Taking this opportunity, I would like to schedule a meeting with Secretary Jiang and Governor Gong to report on my thoughts. Primarily, I want to apply for a transfer back to Jiangzhong. 。"Oh, really? So soon you suggested it to the leader?" "If I suggest it earlier, the leader can consider personnel issues sooner." 。"We need to give the leaders some time, " Xiao Zheng said. 。"Xiao Jingyu said: “What you said makes sense.” 。"Xiao Zheng said, "However, when I return to Jiangzhong, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to hold such an important position as mayor! By then, I can spend more time with Xiao Yuan." 。"You must be a workaholic. You wouldn't have such a leisurely day." 。“Xiao Jingyu revealed, “You probably wouldn’t believe it, Secretary Ye Fengnian has already called me, saying he welcomes you back to Jiangzhong. His exact words were, ‘Jiangzhong will always be Xiao Zheng’s home, we have plenty of positions, what we lack is outstanding cadres like Xiao Zheng!’” This shows that Secretary Ye cares about and recognizes you very much!” Xiao Jingyu practiced for Xiao Zheng so early today precisely to convey Secretary Ye's words to him, letting him feel at ease returning to Jiangzhong. 。Xiao Zheng's heart warmed, and he said: "Jiangzhong is indeed my hometown! As for the location, I really don't have that many thoughts." 。

As long as you can come back.

。"Xiao Jingyu said: "I also think so, it's good to be back! Also, there's one more thing, it's about Xiao Yuan..." 。Last time, I told you that Xiao Yuan's graffiti on the floor was quite strange. 。You said, take a picture of me. 。This time Mom kept Xiao Yuan's graffiti, I also took pictures, it is really strange, I am really a little worried, let me show you first >>>。Okay, send it to me right away. 。<<< 。Xiao Zheng was very worried about his son's condition. He opened his mobile phone and sent a text message, and soon received three pictures from Xiao Jingyu. 。At first glance, Xiao Zheng was astonished! How familiar this black and grey graffiti looked? He opened the second and third photos. After looking at all three, Xiao Zheng was certain: the graffiti was very similar to the strange clouds in Yuezhou's eerie weather!“Could these graffiti really be drawn by Xiao Yuan?” Xiao Zheng found it hard to believe. How could Xiao Yuan's graffiti resemble the strange clouds of Yuezhou so closely? Xiao Jingyu said, “It is indeed the little guy’s graffiti.” 。"Xiao Zheng said: “I saw in the news yesterday that there was strange weather in Guangdong Province, including some pictures of weird clouds that were very similar to Xiao Yuan's graffiti." 。"Xiao Jingyu said, "I also noticed..." 。The connection here is unfathomable!
Is this just a coincidence, or some kind of connection orchestrated by fate? Both Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu are materialists, yet they've both experienced some strange things. For example, the dragon and phoenix lightning in Green Water Village, the phoenix-shaped spring water in the cave under Bamboo Sea Hotel... These events have made them wonder if there are still some mysteries in this world that current technology can't explain. 。But they still felt that any strange things could eventually be solved by science, it just takes time. 。For example, airplanes that fly overhead today would have definitely been considered a miracle in ancient times, but now we can simply explain it with "aerodynamics"!
Xiao Zheng said: “Then let’s observe for two more days” 。"Let's see if the little guy will keep drawing such strange doodles!" Xiao Jingyu said, "Good, I'll pay attention to that." 。When I left home today, the little one was still fast asleep. 。He didn't go to sleep until the early morning yesterday, he must be exhausted. 。"Xiao Zheng asked with concern, "He slept so late, didn't you also sleep so late?" Xiao Jingyu smiled faintly on the phone and said, "Yeah," 。"Xiao Zheng said, "Don't overwork yourself." 。Xiao Jingyu said: "No, you don't have to worry about me! When I get to work later, I'll drink a cup of Anxian old tea, and I'll be fine! Secretary Ye told me that after the new leadership of the Jiangzhong team is in place, he will lead the team to investigate Ninggan." 。It should just take a week or two. 。In the party branch on the river, the positions of deputy secretary and head of united front work are vacant, which must be filled. 。Xiao Zheng naturally understood. He said, "I'll be waiting for you at the westernmost point of the sea!"
That morning, Xiao Zheng arrived in Yinzhou and, accompanied by county and department leaders, went to the Transportation Department, Water Resources Department, Construction Department, etc., to report and communicate the relevant situation. He also reported the situation to the relevant deputy provincial governors and requested further support from the leadership. 。Today's Xiao Zheng is vastly different from his former self. 。Below, he was once a face, the Bao Yuan County he led had become Ning Gan's first poverty-stricken county to shake off poverty; above, he received the favor of two major leaders from the provincial government. 。。At noon, Xiao Zheng called the secretaries of Secretary Jiang and Governor Gong respectively to make appointments for meetings with the leaders. 。Both leaders won't be able to spare a few minutes until the evening. 。In the afternoon, Xiao Zheng visited provincial leaders again. As it was almost four o'clock and he still had some time, he went to the Aid Ning Command Center and communicated his ideas with Commander Ma Kai and Party Secretary Gu Cuiping of the command center. 。Ma Kai received Xiao Zheng in his office. After listening to Xiao Zheng's words, he said with regret: "Are you really going to return to Jiangzhong? In fact, you have established a solid foundation from Baoyuan to Xihetou, and completed the glamorous promotion from county party secretary to mayor. The leaders of the provincial committee and provincial government value you so much that the next step for you to serve as the Secretary of the Xihetou Municipal Party Committee is almost a foregone conclusion! The best thing is, from the Secretary of the Xihetou Municipal Party Committee to the Standing Committee member and Deputy Governor, there is already a precedent set by Chen Qingshan." 。"So, you've already had predecessors pave the way for you from city officials to provincial leaders! Have you considered all of this?"Ma Kai analyzed the situation in detail for Xiao Zheng, just afraid that Xiao Zheng hadn't seen the pros and cons clearly and missed a good opportunity. 。Inside the system, it is crucial to seize every opportunity. 。Xiao Zheng smiled and nodded. "I've already thought about it" 。"Ma Kai's eyes widened a bit: "Have you considered it? You still gave up such a good opportunity so easily? Going back to Jiangzhong, there probably won't be such a good opportunity!" Xiao Zheng laughed again: "It's not a matter of the passageway..." 。"I ask you, why do you stay in Ninggan?" Ma Kai said matter-of-factly, "For Wang Lan!" Xiao Zheng blinked and said, "You stay in Ninggan for Wang Lan; I go back to Jiangzhong for Jingyu." 。"Aren't we the same?"
Ma Kai suddenly realized and nodded with a smile: "We are really alike! So, have you made up your mind to go back?" Xiao Zheng said: "Yes, or I wouldn't have come specifically to report to you!" "No need for reports..." 。"You're still using that trick on me?" Ma Kai said, "Well then, all I can do is wish you good luck returning to the river." 。"Oh, by the way, since you're leaving Xiheitou, the mayor's position will be vacant. Don't you think Wang Lan would be suitable for that?"
Xiao Zheng said, "That's even better! I think it's feasible!" Ma Kai nodded thoughtfully and said, "I'll tell her about this idea, of course, it mainly depends on what she thinks." 。After leaving Ma Kai, Xiao Zheng went to see Gu Cuiping. 。"Upon hearing Xiao Zheng's plan, Gu Cuiping didn't analyze the pros and cons extensively. Instead, she smiled and nodded, saying, "I support you!" Xiao Zheng said, "Secretary Gu, you are the second leader besides Jingyu who has supported me without discussing the pros and cons first!"Gu Cuiping smiled and said, "For such an important matter, I believe you and Jingyu have already considered everything. There's no need for me to analyze the pros and cons again." 。I also hope that you and Jingyu can reunite as soon as possible. 。As for whether you can be reused in Jiangzhong, I'm not worried at all. Gold shines wherever it is, and the political atmosphere in Jiangzhong has always been good! I will also find opportunities to report your outstanding performance in aiding Ning to the two main leaders of Jiangzhong. 。You can go back, it's actually a blessing to be in Jiangzhong! I still have some selfish desires as an outstanding cadre who wants to return to Jiangzhong. 。As expected, different leaders will have different perspectives on issues. 。"Thank you, Secretary Gu, for your support." 。"Xiao Zheng changed the subject and asked another question that he cared about, "Gu Gu, have you made any progress with Yu Dongnan, the director of Yun Gui province? We are all very concerned about this!"When asked about this matter, Gu Cuiping's face involuntarily showed a shyness rarely seen at her age. She said, "We plan to... get married during this year's Spring Festival...""Really? That's wonderful!" Xiao Zheng exclaimed excitedly, "I and Jingyu will definitely attend your wedding then!" Gu Cuiping said: "How could we forget you two? We just don't plan to have a big wedding, just a gathering with our closest friends." 。It can be seen that Gu Cuiping treats Xiao Zheng and the others as their "closest" friends!
Speaking of this, Xiao Zheng received a call from Governor Gong's secretary, informing Xiao Zheng that he could go. Governor Gong's meeting was about to end, and he would meet him later. 。Xiao Zheng then bid farewell to Gu Cuiping and went to the Provincial Government Building. 。After meeting with Governor Gong, Xiao Zheng then went to see Secretary Jiang. 。He reported to the two leaders both on the progress of key work in Xihai Tou, and his communication with various departments about victory. He also reported his personal thoughts and reflections. 。Unexpectedly, both leaders tried to persuade Xiao Zheng to stay. However, seeing his firm resolve, they didn't press him too hard, expressing understanding and promising to arrange personnel matters as soon as possible. They also hoped that Xiao Zheng could continue to work actively for Xihai Tou in the remaining days, start well and end well, and give it one last strong push forward. 。
